Rooms with low ceilings, or with cell
ipg. even with the window tops says the
Popular Science Monthly, are more read
ily aud completely ventilated than those
with high ceilings. The leakage of air
which is always going ON keeps all parts
of the air in motion in such rooms,
whereas # the ceiling is higher only the
lower part of the air is moved and an III
yerted lake of foul and hot air is left
floating in the space above the window
tops. To have the currents of fresh AR
circulating only in the lower parts of the
room, while the upper portion of the air
is left unaffected is really the worst way
of yentilating, for the stagnant atmos-
pheric lake under the ceiling although
motiouless-keeps actively Mt work under
the law of the diffusion of gases, foullng
the fresh currents circulating beneath 1t.
With low ceilings and high windows, no
such accumulation of air is possible Tor
the whole height of the room is swept by
the currents as the dust of the tloor l.
swept by the broom. Low ceilings have
also the advantage of enabling the rooms
10 be warmed with less expenditure Of
heat and less cost of fuel. The above
does not agree with the height of rooms
j in dwellings, but the authority is good
and well worthy of consideration by per
sons about to build.

Learning HouSeWork.


II mothers educated their daugh-
tcrs to think more honorably ot
Homework, we would not have so
many inefficient houSekeepcrs, but
if the mother is efficient i'll the CON
troll of her house, she had rather do
the work than to have the trouble
of teaching her daughters, forget
ting that this is IN injustice 10
them as well as to herself and She
can do more neglect III this part of
her education than she can neglect
their education from books, and
they should be taught to under,
stand that to he an adept i'll the art
of sewing, plain or otherwise, is as
great an accomplishment as music
and painting; not that | nnderaie
these latter accomplishments, bl; !
consider the former as equal 10
them, and it seems strang" to me
that mothers are so blind TO this
most essential part OF their daugh-
tcrS' education.
When we contemplate so many
unhappy homes, made so by the in
capacity of their mistresscS, oar
best instincts convince us that the
training of our girls is absolutely
wong. | once heard ii farmer 5
daughter say to her mother the
week before she was married: II
have never made a loaf of bread or
cake" and She WAS twenty-threc ut
that time, and her intended WAS IA
farmer, and the mother was well
assured that the daughter would
have to be her own houSekecper.
But even IN the case of dividing
the care OF the household with the
servants, the discipline is better
when the lady has II practical
knowledge of how things should be
done and the length Of time required
in the performance of certain duties
If she has a knowledge Of these
facts she will be a more kind and
patient mistress.
While | believe that our girls
should be proficient in every de
partment of learning, ! think also
that they should be taught the i'm
portance of serving an apprentice
ship in the kitchen at the same
time.

Don't Neglect the Garden.

Last week we had something to
say about the garden, and now, as
haying the most important factor
in all farming where stock raising
forms a prominent feature of the
system, has to be taken in hand,
the liability is that the garden will
receive the go by. But however
busy farmers and suburban resi-
dents may be nowadays, they can
hardly afford to neglect the garden.
1t pays to raise plenty of good veg
etables and small fruits, and people
who regard the health and comfort
of their families should not fail to
cultivate choice varieties for home
Those who use in
teror garden products, or only such
as they can neither sell nor give
away, practice false economy. The
huSbandman that laboreth must be
the partakcr of the fruits saith
Paul, and the admonition ought to
be needed by the great number of
otherwise apparently sensible folks.

The difference in the value and

would be if they were bought and
sold hy weight In some markets
notably in New York and Philadel-
phia, from two to four cents more
is paid for selected Leghorn eggs
than for others, while in Boston
the choice is for the colored eggs
of the Asiatics or Plymouth Rocks.
Some of the dealers of Auburn
and Lewiston have already made
a place for Brahma eggs, or 9th
ers equally large and colored, pay
ing one cent dozen more for these
than for smaller and inferior ones
The result will be that the line will
become more marked, land the
choicer article receive the higher
price. This is as it should be, and
1t seems as though it might be the
only thing that will lead farmers to
increase their flocks. When the
time comes that eggs are sold by
weight, as they should be, then ev
cry man will get pay for what he
has, and no more. To day the
